Bank by mail

My friends over at "Stamps at Distinction" have a great article about the bank that was sent -- brick by brick -- through the mail. using Parcel Post.

A businessman in Vernal, UT, wanted to build a building that would include a bank. But the bricks were being manufactured in Salt Lake City -- 120 miles away. The freight charges were expensive for the short trip -- so the smart man figured that the mail would be cheaper.
